Superior 

 Freezing Variety 



A Great All-Purpose Strawberry with growers in 

 New York, New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania and oth- 

 er Northern sections. 



SO GLOSSY RED FOLKS THINK IT'S WAXED! 



SPARKLE has the better qualities of its Fairfax parent as it resembles Fairfax in ap- 

 pearance and firmness and the color is a solid red so glossy that it has the appearance of being 

 waxed. However, it does not tend to darken on holding and the deep red color runs solidly 

 through the meaty flesh w^hich marks it as one of the very best varieties for quick freezing. 

 Same parentage as Temple and as productive and vigorous. 



SPARKLE was originally introduced in New Jersey but its high production, excellent flavor 

 and good freezing qualities were found to be just as good in areas north and south. Today it 

 is widely planted throughout the Middle and North Atlantic States 

 and is particularly favored in New York State. 



SPARKLE should not be looked upon as just a good freezing 

 berry. These same qualities make it an excellent all around berry — 

 a good shipper — a good local market berry— a good home garden 

 berry. 



UNUSUALLY VIGOROUS — Medium to large plants make an 

 abundance of runners. Sets a great number of fiowers per cluster 

 ahd practically all develop into fruit of marketable size. 



EXCELLENT RESISTANCE— Not bothered with leaf spot and 

 scorch and is resistant to root disease.

Strawberries 



Are As Easy to Grow 



as Any Garden Crop 



strawberries are the most widely adapted fruit crop 

 and grow in a wide range of soils and climates. A 

 good crop may be expected in any soil that will pro- 

 duce a satisifaclory vegetable crop. Strawberries re- 

 quire no special tools or eciuipment for cultivation 

 other than used in the average garden.
